This is done in order not to trig the below warning in ieee80211_rx_napi: WARN_ON_ONCE(softirq_count() == 0); ieee80211_rx_napi requires that softirq's are disabled during execution. The High latency bus drivers (SDIO and USB) sometimes call the wmi ep_rx_complete callback from non softirq context, resulting in a trigger of the above warning. Calling ieee80211_rx_ni with softirq's already disabled (e.g., from softirq context) should be safe as the local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable functions (called from ieee80211_rx_ni) are fully reentrant.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
